No longer will we hear “What are the scores George Dawes?” because Matt Lucas has decided to quit Shooting Stars.
Hosted by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer the new series of the utterly random quiz show apparently clashes with a show Lucas is working on with Little Britain partner David Walliams The Sun writes.
“It’s the first time in six series that I can’t be in it and I’m obviously sad. I hope we can do something together again soon” he said.
Lucas has kept the scores on the show since its inception in 1993, sat behind a drum kit dressed as a baby in a full baby-grow.
Shooting Stars returned last year after the last full series ended in 2002.
A new series will be back later this year with Jack Dee remaining a team captain as will Shooting Stars veteran Ulrika Jonsson.
Hopefully this doesn’t mean the end for our beloved baby, but who’s going to read the scores now?
